Rush receiving the Medal of Freedom in the middle of Trump’s State of the Union speech was epic!
Totally agree....
Loved that President Trump honored him at the SOTU. Lovely moment.
I haven’t listened to talk radio since he died.
A client of mine told me about Rush in 1989, and I listened to him almost every day until his death. I contributed to the blood cancer research every year and got T shirts and polo shirts as his way of thanking me. My wife liked the shirts and bought me more of them from his web site.
I remember the day after the 1994 election when Newt won the Speakership. Rush started his show with “Ladies and gentlemen, I sure as heck...”. The next thing you heard was the James Brown song “ I feel good!”. I felt pretty good too.
Yes, I wish he had said what he knew in one of his final broadcasts.
Soros is buying up all of the AM market.

Imagine, if today was your birthday and you were a Rush fan?
Like most of us, he would despair.
Between the death of Rush and the stealing of the 2020 election, I {a poll watcher for over 25 years} have lost almost all interest in politics.
I'll vote for Trump and all of the down ballot pubbies but I'm done with donations {both time and money}.
If the election is stolen this time, I might have to go 'Death Wish'...hell, I'm in my 80s so how much would I be giving up? {Other than my immortal soul}
“Both anchored the right end of “acceptable” conservative opinion.”
Great observations!
“Acceptable conservatism” is too timid, too afraid to speak the truth, too afraid of labels and insukts, too comfortable to engage the fight.
And so the left keeps wiping the floor with us in this culture war.
It’s somewhat hopeful that today we’re starting to have people on our side unafraid to speak the uncomfortable truths. We need many more and followers ready to take to the streets if we’re going to have a chance at reversing this dystopia we’re living in.
Me too, and I bought Rush golf shirts, still wear his ball caps and re-read his books, especially his "Rush Revere" books, they are priceless and timeless.
Rush paid $3.9 million for his FL house and it sold for $155 Million {and the judge in Trump's NY fraud case says that Mara Lago is only worth $18 million when it is estimated to be worth between 1-1.5 BILLION.
RIP El Rushbo, we all miss you and pray for your love of the USA.
Rush was just the best. He was so much fun to listen to. I also have listened since 1989 , August of that year. I rarely ever missed a show. I still have 100’s of downloads of past shows. Every now and then, I listen to one at random. They are very heavily oriented toward news at that time. That’s what Rush did. He covered the topics of the day. I’m positive he got a lot of his news from Free Republic. I even saw it on his computer screen a few times.
This will always be a sad day for me.
Rush is irreplaceable....Clay and Buck is fine, but Rush was special. Miss him...wish someone who is around 20 could be the next Rush...oh well, as I said he’s irreplaceable!
Is he hopeful? Humorous? I understand that we are in a much worse way these days, but that is what I loved about Rush - his optimism and his ability to diminish the Left using humor.
Thank you FRiend,
And may God guide and strengthen us,

I listened to Rush for decades, but this kind of crap is bordering on idol worship......
My 90 year old Dad and I speak nearly daily and he still mourns Rush’s passing and the hole in the day where Rush used to be. I’m proud to have introduced Rush to my Dad with The Way Things Ought To Be some 30+ years ago.
There doesn’t seem to be a “left end” of acceptable communism.
This piece is just outstanding, better with each reading. I really have nothing to add except “Dittos” to every word of it.
